[patch 30/60] Freezer: Fix APM emulation breakage

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Dec 13 2007 - 02:08:34 EST


2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

patch cb43c54ca05c01533c45e4d3abfe8f99b7acf624 in mainline.

The APM emulation is currently broken as a result of commit
831441862956fffa17b9801db37e6ea1650b0f69
"Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default"
that removed the PF_NOFREEZE annotations from apm_ioctl() without adding
the appropriate freezer hooks. Fix it and remove the unnecessary variable flags
from apm_ioctl().

Special thanks to Franck Bui-Huu <vagabon.xyz@xxxxxxxxx> for pointing out the
problem.
